Re 7
I didn’t revise for my mocks because I didn’t know how to and during the year I “revised” by making notes which was just copying our classswork which was a big waste of time I’m really stressed because the whole summer holidays have gone and I’ve only done flash cards for paper ones if he sciences and have been very slow paced I’m very stressed going into year eleven as I have high expectations and whenever I tried and stopped thinking about it it come back again I cry every night before I sleep because of how stressed I am but nothing goes in my brain and it’s freaking me out I think now it’s way too late for me too start revising and I’m scared someone got any advice ?
I want to be a dentist when I’m older and do bio chem and maths at a level and I’m js really stressed abt me not getting good enought gsces for the alevels and uni course I want to do
Do I have enough time

you did pretty good in your mocks despite not meeting your expectations :smile:
i know revision can seem pointless especially because of how boring it is but i think for you what you should try is different methods.
you could try making mind maps, do past papers, teach someone else, and the active recall method.
you still have time before your gcses and any progress is good progress so don’t stress yourself out already.
you should spend maybe an hour a day or every 2 days revising in different ways and when you do exams at christmas or any other term, hopefully there’s an improvement. just keep a calm head and if you’re doing a bit slowly slowly you’ll gain confidence and i hope you feel better mentally 🫶
